Whipped Tallow Cream base ingredients
Organic grass fed beef tallow, organic raw shea butter, organic raw cocoa butter.
Some Options:
I can customize a formula for your unique needs.
Why Tallow?
I have started to use tallow in place of beeswax for absorption. Beeswax is great for when you want/need a barrier for the skin but it will block full absorption of any herbs/medicinals that you add. Tallow is 100% absorbable because it is so similar to our body's own fat! It absorbs right in and takes the herbs with it! I have found it to be a superior medium for topical applications of herbs.
Does it smell like meat?
Tallow does not smell as nice as beeswax, I'm not going to lie! BUT, when you combine it with the shea and cocoa butters and herbs, it masks the aroma pretty well. We can also get creative and add extracts (homemade vanilla bean paste, homemade cocoa extract, even aromatic tinctures such as lavender or rose petal). I can also add essential oils upon request.
Is it greasy?
I have not found it to be so. I find it absorbs much better than a beeswax based salve. It leaves my skin soft and not greasy at all.
How is it preserved?
That's the real magick, friends! Most creams and lotions are made by emulsifying infusions (tea-basically) into the oils/fats. This type of preparation will grow mold in a few days without refrigeration - and honestly...I hate keeping my body products in the refrigerator...who wants to put freezing cold cream on their body straight out of the shower? Not me! My creams are naturally preserved by the tinctures and have longevity due tot he fact that they contain no water. They are shelf stable and will last for 6+ months. Probably longer but I use mine up before that so I cannot be certain.
Will my dog want to lick it off of me?
Probably, but that is true for any product that I make because I only use edible, food-based ingredients.
